When I open the door, locked or unlocked, with the smart key in my pocket the HID lights turns on for a few seconds. Is there anyway to stop them from coming on? Just seems like extra wear and tear on the lamps.

I've been through all the settings in the Evic. IA switched to off does just that. No headlamps operation period. Granted, the illuminated approach powers on the lamps (hid) when I have it activated, but I have yet to be able to produce a flash upon entry. Only entry flash I can reproduce is the parking lamps.
